About

TBLM is based and interested in India. But it is interested in the world, too. Perhaps it is best to say that TBLM is most interested in literary fiction and poetry, and all other interests then follow in a constantly morphing order.

TBLM is edited by Tanuj Solanki (fiction) and Arjun Rajendran (poetry).

TBLM is free, and will always be. And not only is it free, it promises never to make money through any of those I-don’t-charge-but-I-make-enough ways. It will forever be a bankrupt magazine, and for this reason will neither pay nor receive. At least we’ve got that figured from day one.
